I had never heard of this song until I read your post. Great tune.
Although it would be appropriate, since I’m an Occidental College Tiger, the Year of the Tiger comes immediately prior to the Year of the Cat.
We had better make certain that the Year of the Rat will not be the Year of the 'Rat.
Oh, you’re using the Vietnamese Zodiac, which has the Cat in place of the rabbit in the Chinese version............

Anyone who has ever owned a cat
would realize that EVERY YEAR
is the year of the cat.
I’m a sound engineer in New Jersey. Several years ago, I worked for Al at the Levoy Theater in Millville NJ. He was a very nice man and he still sounded great. I can’t say the same for Don McClean, who beat his wife a week after I worked for him at the same venue.
Great voice and wonderful songs about being human. “Lord Grenville” was my favorite.
Agreed! Roads to Moscow, Nostradamus, Lord Grenville... And then there were others like Alan Parsons taking on the writings of Poe, and so on. Real creativity, real talent... It was a special time in music history,
